** Dosage && Administration:

– Essential Hypertension: Torsemide has been shown to lower blood pressure when administered once daily at doses of 5mg to 10mg. The antihypertensive effect is near maximal after 4 to 6 weeks of treatment, but it continue to increase for up to 12 weeks. If administration of Torsemide is suddenly stopped, blood pressure returns to pretreatment levels over several days, without overshoot. Torsemide has been administered together with beta-Adrenergic blockers, ACE-inhibitors and calcium-channel blockers; no special dosage adjustment has been needed.
– Examide initial dose is 5mg once daily. If the 5mg dose does not provide adequate reduction in blood pressure within 4 to 6 weeks, the dose may be increased to 10mg once daily. If the response to 10mg is insufficient, an additional antihypertensive agent should be added to treatment regimen.
– Congestive Heart Failure: Examide initial dose is 10mg to 20mg once daily. If the diuretic response is inadequate, the dose should be titrated upward by approximately doubling until the desired diuretic response is obtained. Single doses higher than 200mg have not been adequately studied.
– Chronic Renal Failure: Examide initial dose is 20mg once-daily. If the diuretic response is inadequate, the dose should be titrated upward by approximately doubling until the desired diuretic response is obtained. Single doses higher than 200mg have not been adequately studied.
– Hepatic Cirrhosis: Examide initial dose is 5mg or 10mg once-daily, administered together with an aldosterone antagonist or a potassium-sparing diuretic. If the diuretic response is inadequate, the dose should be titrated upward by approximately doubling until the desired diuretic response is obtained. Single doses higher than 40mg have not been adequately studied.
